RE: Missing minibuffer when running emacs -nw

["Olle Sundblad" <osu at nada dot kth dot se>]

Thanks for the help in solving the problem!

I still use a 300 line buffer for the window but added the following lines
to my .emacs for easy modifying of Emacs frame-height. If anyone know a way
to get the window height (not buffer) from "cygwin" I'd appreciate it but
this works for me (I only use emacs -nw for CVS commenting).

:;; setting current frame height
(defun set-emacs-height (lines)
  "Sets the current frame height."
  (interactive "nFrame height (lines): ")
  (set-frame-height (window-frame (frame-selected-window)) lines))

;;; and assigning it to a key
(global-set-key "\C-xaa" 'set-emacs-height)

Nope. Everything I've tried so far returns the number of lines in the
buffer. To get the number of actual displayed lines I think you'd have
to actually find a way to query the settings for that particular
instance of the window. I have no idea how to go about doing that
though. :(

Thanks for the fix. I'll try it tomorrow and see how it works. If you
can't find a way to actually determine the number of lines visible at
runtime, 25 is still a pretty safe number as most of the sizeable TT
resolutions for a Windows command prompt keep the 80x25 layout.
